[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do, but I really need to because of my activity level (lots of training for multi-sport).

I could see skipping it, and I think it might help with fat adaptation a little bit - meaning the ability to be a little bit more flexible in your energy source. Flexibility there is a good thing, and not something you "train" other than through normal every day habits.

I also have high activity levels, and am much more concerned with adequate energy availability and ability to tolerate fueling around competition than I am with fat adaptation. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports can lead to a lot of long-term health issues.

I eat first breakfast, train, eat second breakfast. Train again later. Healthy BMI, although my coach thinks I could stand to gain a couple of pounds.[/quote]

Fair, and what you describe is pretty much exactly my pattern. Though if we are talking up to 1.5 hours for time reasons I might just eat a banana and start immediately, without eating my normal breakfast.

Similar for me, although my time-crunch breakfast is often oatmeal with brown sugar. I get fancier with toppings if I am not training immediately afterwards.

I know some people love intermittent fasting, but it really doesn't seem compatible with competitive athletics or a really active lifestyle.

And for OP, today's first breakfast was plain Greek yogurt with berries and peanut butter. Second breakfast was a whole wheat bagel with 3 eggs and some cherry tomatoes. This is pretty normal for me.[/quote]
